Question

Equation of the line in the graph is y=? X + ?

Answer 1

to get the equation of any straight line, we simply need two points off of it, let's use those two in the picture below

`(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{2})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{3}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-4}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{\textit{\large rise}} {\stackrel{y_2}{-4}-\stackrel{y1}{2}}}{\underset{\textit{\large run}} {\underset{x_2}{3}-\underset{x_1}{(-3)}}} \implies \cfrac{-6}{3 +3} \implies \cfrac{ -6 }{ 6 } \implies - 1`

`\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{2}=\stackrel{m}{- 1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \implies y -2 = - 1 ( x +3) \\\\\\ y-2=-x-3\implies {\Large \begin{array}{llll} y=-x-1 \end{array}}`
